Question

If you are making a cake for a work potluck, and the recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to serve 8 people, how many cups of flour will you need in order to make a large enough cake to serve 30 people?

Answer 1

Answer:-

7.5 cups of flour is required for 30 people

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:-

2 cups = 8 people

x cups = 30 people

[ Cross multiply ]

=> 2×30 = x × 8

=> (2 × 30)/8 = x

=> 60/8 = x

=> 7.5 cups = x

Thus, for 30 people 7.5 cups of flour is required.
